President's Message
Terry Banister
MOSHE President & Education Committee Co-Chair
|
I can’t believe the year is coming to an end, but what a great year we have had! ASHE Annual, MOSHE Education Programs and the ASHE Region 8 Conference have all helped us learn about new regulations and expectations from surveyors.
I would like to thank you, our members, for attending our education programs and networking events. Your attendance shows us we are providing quality presentations essential to our discipline. I must also acknowledge the MOSHE Board and Committee Members for their time, dedication and support. Many MOSHE Committee Members worked with ASHE,
providing a unique opportunity for MOSHE to host our first ASHE Region 8 Conference, in St. Charles. Thank you for a job well done!
I would also like to welcome new Board and Committee Members in the coming year. They’ll bring fresh ideas, helping us become better prepared for the constant changing regulations in healthcare. We have great programs scheduled in 2020, many targeting The Joint Commissions Top 10 Violations.
It is also my pleasure to welcome Loie Couch, as President in 2020. She is a dedicated and thoughtful leader, who will bring valuable insight to her role.
Thanks again for a great year and I hope everyone has a Happy Holiday Season filled with Joy and Loving family time.
Thank you,
Terry Banister

2020 MOSHE President & Education Committee Co-Chair

Hello MOSHE! I am eagerly looking forward to being your President of MOSHE in 2020. I look back on how 2019 presented MOSHE with a tremendous amount of educational opportunities, and wow, MOSHE had a tremendous year!
Now looking forward, I want to continue leading MOSHE to be the impactful organization that it is. Of course, none of this would be possible without all of our committee chairs and committee members. Our MOSHE board is a strong group, leading us in the right direction.
So enjoy your holiday season, and let’s embrace 2020 as another year for great growth and educational opportunities. Without you members, we cannot continue to move forward. Let’s make 2020 the best year ever! I look forward to seeing all of you at our events, and please, let me know if you have ideas for topics for our education program.
Happy Holidays, Happy New Year! May your holidays be filled with love and joy.
Stay safe, stay warm, and stay informed.
Thank you,
